Il est possible que vos démons peuvent vous transformer en un démon avant que vous réalisiez. si vous continuez à regarder dans une obscurité insondable vide, il ya une bonne chance que l'obscurité se regarder en arrière à toi. Votre meilleur pari est de marcher loin de vos démons, et de prendre la grande route où les démons craignent de marcher.
    Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate
